Twitch gift cards have been available in the US for some time, and now the streaming platform makes it so other countries can purchase and use them.
Twitch is undoubtedly the head honcho of the streaming world and is often the first choice when it comes to creating online gaming content. With huge Twitch streamers such as Asmongold pulling in millions of users and the 2020 lockdowns leading to a rise in people visiting the site and broadcasting themselves, the likes of YouTube and Facebook are trailing behind this mammoth platform.
Twitch gift cards have been available to US users for some time now, allowing those in possession of one to reward their favorite streamers by donating Twitch bits to channels or gifting subscriptions to other users. Now gift cards have become available in other parts of the world. According to a recent blog post on the Twitch website, those who use the site in the UK, Canada, and Australia can now purchase gift cards, which were made available on Amazon two days ago. There's no indication of whether they will be made available in even more countries, at the time of writing.
For those who are unaware, Twitch gift cards can be used on the site in the same way as other company gift cards that are often purchased for birthdays, holidays, or other events. In this case, it's possible to buy a digital or physical Twitch gift card with either a pre-determined or custom amount of money. It goes without saying that those who wish to purchase a gift card for someone will need to make sure that the recipient has their own Twitch account.
With a series of controversial Twitch streamer bans last year and the ongoing struggle against hate raids that have been aimed at people from the LGBTQ+ community, many feel the site could be doing a better job of making the platform a safe place to be. However, it doesn't seem to have hurt the site too much, as Twitch continues to be the number one place for like-minded people to watch channels or start broadcasting themselves.
